Common photo galleries are presented on www.flickr.com, but our interest is Short-toed Eagle photos. Some of them on the site have a size up to 3072 px. Also you can see the search results for “Circaetus gallicus”. Please use these links to find new additions of Short-toed Eagles images.
Here you can look through some images of the captured female about 7 years old. The photos (© Sergey Sidorov) were made in the Kiev Zoo:
This is the presentation of two old texts of the first part of the XX century. One of them was written by Viktor Zebe:
• Viktor Zebe, Oktober 1936 – Zur biologie des Schlangenadlers [Biology of the Short-toed Eagle] – Berichte des Vereins Schlesicher Ornithologen /map/. Just read the translation of it (Fr) from German made by one of the greatest adepts in Short-toed Eagles in France – Yves Boudoint.
The second is Nikolay Gavrilenko‘s work, that is mentioned in the first one:
• Гавриленко Н.И., 1929 – Птицы Полтавщины. Змееяд [The birds of the Government of Poltava. Short-toed Eagle] // Полтава: Издание Полтавского союза охотников: 28-30 (Ru) /map/.
Just download a scan of the part dedicated to all birds of prey on the Ukrainian Birds of Prey Research Centre website.
Just look at these pages. It’s difficult to make comments… Many photos made by Yoram Shpirer with the professional equipment disclose secrets of Short-toed Eagles’ life. The title of the main page is highly exact, this is the photographic story of Eagles’ abode:

See photos (© Sergey Domashevsky) made while ringing a young Short-toed Eagle in nest in Kiev Region (Central Ukraine) /map/ on July 27th:
This is one more general information on the species:
• MALAFOSSE J.-P. et JOUBERT B., 2004 – Circaète Jean-le-Blanc Circaetus gallicus (Gmelin) 1788 // in Thiollay J.-M. et Bretagnolle V. (coord.), Rapaces nicheurs de France, Distribution, effectifs et conservation, Delachaux et Niestlé, Paris: pp. 60-65. (Fr).
…but, Jean-Pierre Malafosse with group of researchers had traced more than 400 cases of Short-toed Eagles breeding just till 2000 in the so-called Massif Central /map/. And their researches are continuing. Just think about it…
Bernard Joubert /map/ is an author of the “Le Circaète Jean-le-Blanc” book; see an extract from it (Fr) about the youngs’ behaviour after leaving the nests.
This is the great collection of photos including photos of Short-toed Eagle. Some of them also can be found on other websites, but anyway this compilation is noteworthy. Images size is about 800×600 px. Search results on the database are represented below.
